MY Place sbayneBimbamboom - Speakers have been the bayne of my existence (pun intended, my last name is Bayne). The Philharmonic 3 looked good on paper because I've really enjoyed that planar midrange sound in th... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneJust a few comments on my "new" system. First, Shindo is probably the best you can buy - I know, I owned it. I wanted to buy another share in a very good friend's business so I sold off m... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneSystem edited: Extreme makeover to my system! I don't think its "better" than what I had but it is still very, very musical and enjoyable! posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneSystem edited: I've been tweaking my Logitech Touch by adding a Welborne power supply and using a SimAudio 100D DAC. This has brought dramatically better sound to the digital side of my system. The... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThanks Matt. The Shindo gear gets better with age, sort of like the fine wines they are named after! posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneAdamaley - You're right, no dedicated DAC. The Touch meets my current needs for digital which is: convenience. The internal DAC does 96/24 decoding and it has a nice interface. The analog outs soun... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneI'm just looking for the best speaker for my room and equipment. The doesn't mean the Devores and Altecs are not excellent speakers. The Salks just seem to load the back enclave area in my room bet... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneSystem edited: I've been enjoying the Salk Archos in my system. They are very tube friendly at 94db and the open-baffle design throws a huge, balanced soundstage. posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
Music for the soulI think our systems say a lot about the person behind it. Shindo, Devore, Curtis Counce, the guitar, the dog - I can certainly relate to all of that! posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThanks John. Much better imaging and bass impact! posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneSystem edited: Now using a pair of Devore Nines. Not as much bass as the Altecs but a more balanced sound with a slightly better soundstage. posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Shindo MagicNice upgrades Mike. posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneLike all of Shindo's products, the first impression I had of the Shindo TT in my system was he obviously spent hours and hours refining the mechanics and ultimately the sound. I own another very ni... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |

MY Place sbayneSystem edited: I've added the Shindo 301 to my system and CH Audio Design field coils to my Valencias. Not much to say other than these are major steps forward. posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThanks Mjcmt. I've been around this hobby for many years. I'm starting to realize the way to improve a sound system is not through whiz-bang electrical engineering but through time-tested changes i... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneHi, still with the Valencias. Remarkable how good these are with the Shindo amps I have. posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneHi, I have a F2A Cortese as well so that is what I'm currently using for an amp. I'm just trying to raise some money to perhaps go into a pair of Shindo speakers or Shindo turntable. Scott posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThanks Ken. I have not tried the bass busters although I probably will at some point in time. posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThink of this way: they shoot across the width of the room not the length - so they shoot across a 15' distance. What you see in the pictures is an enclove where my equipment and albums sit which t... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneMine shoot into a room thats about 35' long and 15' wide with 10' ceilings. The speakers sit out about 5' from the front wall. I sit just in front of the back wall which puts me about 9'-10' away f... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
MY Place sbayneThe Harbeths are excellent speakers. I could have lived with them much longer if I had not found these Valencias locally and given them a try. Its fairly obvious Ken Shindo uses speakers like Altec... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
